Cub

Chapter 7

Alexia pulled on her small jacket, and Remus apparated with her to meet up with Lily, James and Harry. Sirius couldn't go out in public, because he was accused of selling Lily and James to Voldemort, but they all knew it was Peter. He had gone into hiding y now, not that they cared, they just where glad he wasn't allowed, or so god, Remus, James and Sirius would have actually committed a murder. Alexia squealed and hugged Harry, and the taller boy happily hugged her back. Remus, James and Lilly went off talking about adult stuff, while Alexia and Harry went to get their books and things. They stared at the brooms outside from the shop windows. Harry got a lot of weird stares, as well as Alexia. After all, it was odd to see the two who sent You Know Who away. They got a lot of happy smiles, and hand shakes. Alexia went into Ollivanders with Harry. Harry had knocked over a few things before receiving the right wand for him. Alexia got hers on first try. It was 9 inches, unicorn hair with oak wood. 

"You'll be a very powerful witch miss Lupin. Use your powers wisely, not just because you have them" He said, all mysterious. She smiled and paid him ten galleons, and left the shop. She saw her father, and her uncle and auntie. She dragged Harry back to where the adults where. 

"Daddy, can we get ice cream!" Alexia's eyes gleamed with happiness as he nodded his head. The 5 went and sat inside the ice cream parlour. Alexia got chocolate, along with her father. James got toffee, and Lilly and Harry both got strawberry. Alexia tugged on her father's robe sleeve.

"what is it Cub?" He asked quietly.

"Can we get something for Paddy? Since he can't have ice cream. Like some chocolate or something." She said, shyly. Remus smiled and ruffled her hair slightly. 

"of course. you definitely are the most thoughtful witch aren't you, Cub?" She giggled and Remus told Lily and James, who cooed at the girl, and she hid her head in Remus' cloak. Harry, who was opposite her, laughed along with his Dad, Alexia stuck her tongue out at them, and stood up from the table. Everyone followed the eager girl, who had captured Harry and was now dragging him away to the sweets shop. They looked around in awe, and grabbed some sweets. Alexia got chocolate frogs and liquorice wands for her father at home, and she got more chocolate for herself, though she would obviously share it with her chocoholic dad. 

"Alright Cub, time to go" Remus said, as they walked out of the shop, the bag of sweets in Remus' hand. Alexia hugged Harry. 

"Save me a seat on the train?" He nodded and Remus apparated away. Alexia giggled and grabbed some liquorice wands out of the bag and ran up to her father's shared bedroom. She jumped on Sirius, who grunted and rolled over, He pushed his long black locks out of the way, and smiled at his daughter sleepily. Se held out the sweet treat to him, and he took it skeptically.

"Cub, why don't you go and finish packing, i'll be there in a minute." Remus said, chuckling at the squished Sirius under the small girl. She nodded and ran out of the room, opposite to their father, nearly running into Kreacher.

"Sorry Kreacher!" She shouted, jumping onto her bed, where her trunk had been put. Kreacher mumbled about her, and carried on dusting a shelf. Sirius rolled his eyes and turned over to look at Remus.

"What?" He said, looking at his partner, who was smiling in thought.

"We have one very thoughtful daughter, she got you those after we got ice cream, because you couldn't have ice cream" He said, chuckling slightly. Sirius smiled at him. They where blessed with a beautiful little girl, who came with Lily's and Remus' attitudes, which was a good thing, but this meant she was extra kind, all of the time, to anyone. Sirius got out of bed and got dressd quickly, while Remus went to help Alexia pack. Sirius watched the two, who didn't seem to notice him at the door. 

"You'll write to me every week right?" She asked, folding up her robe. Remus smiled and handed her a fluffy jumper to pack.

"Every day if you want. But you'll be more focused on finding new friends." Alexia suddenly sat back. 

"Dad," She only ever said that when she was speaking seriously 

"What if I am in Slytherin, do you think...Do you think Pad's will not like me anymore?" Remus sighed sadly.

"No Cub, he wont, it's just, he had a lot of trouble with his family, as we said this morning, but he wont refuse to like you, he-" Remus was cut of by Sirius stepping in the room, making Alexia jump into Remus slightly,

"He would just be a bit sad that you weren't in Gryffindoor, like the rest of us, but he would have to look past that, because a silly little house doesn't matter to me that much. It was just-" This time he was cut off.

"Your family" she mumbled, picking up a t-shirt and folding it, ignoring the concerned stares from her two dad's.

"Uncle James said i'd probably be a Slytherin, but what if nobody likes me? I am a half blood, and from what I read, most pure-blooded students don't like 'filthy half breeds'" She said, quoting what Kreacher has addressed her for nearly all of her life. 

"Then they can do one, I'm sure Harry will still stick with you, whatever house you're in, and if not, i'll have a word with the little bugger" Sirius said, smirking playfully. Alexia giggled and stuffed her text books into the trunk. Remus studied her wand, and compared it to his own. They where slightly similar, and Remus thought the wand suited his child beautifully. Sirius looked at it and made a 'not bad' face. 

"Did Ollivander say anything?" Sirius asked.

"Well, he said something about not using my powers, but that's not a bad thing, is it? I don't have to use them, do I?" Her hair turned a light shade of blue. she rarely changed her hair colour, because she thought it was odd being different. Remus rubbed her back slightly as Sirius carefully handed her the wand back. 

"no Cub. Now, you should get some rest, you have to get to the train tomorrow, can't be late, now" Remus said, pulling the trunk off the bed almost effortlessly. Alexia stared at him for a moment in awe, but snapped out of it when she heard laughing. She tinged pink and hid her face within the covers.

"That trunk was so heavy! We packed so much in it!" Her muffled voice spoke. Remus shrugged and kissed her forehead.

"Maybe one of the only perks of being a werewolf, Cub. Now, go to sleep." She nodded and hugged her father's, and Sirius kissed her on the cheek, and tucked her in. Remus placed a heating spell on her bed, so she would sleep better warmer. They turned off the light and closed the door, retreating into their room.
